Have a seat, please,” said Bill Williams, the manager. This was Kims first experience with an assessment. After only six months he was due for a raise (25) _ this assessment was satisfactory.“Kim,” began Bill Williams, “I am very pleased with the quality of your work. My only concern is that you are not active enough in (26) _ (put) forward your suggestions.”“But,” replied Kim, “I have always completed every assignment you (27) _ (give) me, Mr. Williams.”“I know that, Kim. And please, call me Bill. But (28) _ I expect is for you to think independently and introduce new ideas. It is more input from you (29) _ I need more feedback on how things are going. I dont need a yes man. You just smile (30) _ _ everything is fine. Im not asking you to tell me what to do, but what you think we (31) _ do. To make suggestions, I employed you because I respect your experience in this field.”“Yes, I see. Im not accustomed to this, but I will try to do as you say Bill.”“Good, then, I expect (32) _ (hear) more from you at staff meetings or at any other time you want to discuss an idea with me.”“Yes, of course. Thank you, Mr. Will Bill.”( B )I was the middle child of the three, but there was a gap of five years on either side, and I hardly saw my father before I was eight. For this and (33) _ reasons I was somewhat lonely. I had the lonely childs habit of making up stories, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions (34) _ (mix) up with the feeling of being isolated. I knew that I had a natural ability with words, and I felt that this created a sort of private world where I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life.However, the quantity of serious writing which I produced all (35) _ my childhood would not add up to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five, my mother (36) _ (take) it down to dictation. I cannot remember anything about it except that it was about a tiger and (37) _ tiger had “chair-like teeth” a good enough expression. At eleven, when the war of 1914-18 broke out, I wrote a poem (38) _ (print) in the local newspaper later. From time to time, when I was a bit (39) _ (old), I wrote bad and usually unfinished “nature poems”. I also, about twice, attempted a short story (40) _ was a failure. That was the total of the would-be serious work that I actually set down on paper during all those years. Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. calmingB. regularC. doableD. electronicsE. fuelF. hookG. incrediblyH. maintainI. mindlesslyJ. treatK. weaponsHere are four simple, healthy and, dare we say, fun ways to help you slim down and stay healthy.Have your cake for breakfastAside from being depressing, the way to _41_ weight loss isnt by feeling deprived. Scientists say that people who started off the day with a _42_ felt fuller and more satisfied, and that led to their sticking with the program as the day went on. Being hungry is no way to start your day, so _43_ up with protein and a mouthful of something sweet. And most of all, enjoy!Sleep your way to weight lossDr. Andrew Calvin, one expert of Mayo Clinic study, is quoted as saying, “If individuals are seeking to maintain a healthy weight or to lose weight, they should seek to get enough sleep on a _44_ basis.”If you find it tricky to wind down at night, turn off the _45_ and engage in relaxing activities, like taking a bath or listening to _46_ music.Journal to drop poundsThe best _47_ for a dieter? Pen and paper! Women who wrote down everything they ate lost more weight than those who didnt track their food intake. Journaling makes you accountable and more aware of what youre eating, so it makes sense that itll keep you from _48_ chewing if you arent actually hungry.Even a tiny bit of exercise helps your healthEven 20 to 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the weeks (broken up into smaller chunks is fine) reduces your risk for all sorts of physical ills. And even 20 minutes a week can improve your mood. That really stuck with me. Its easy to criticize ourselves or burn out if we make goals that are _49_ hard to achieve, but walking a few times a week is _50_ and meaningful, too. III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines; a never-ending flood of words. In getting a job advancing, the ability to read and comprehend _51_ can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are _52_ readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never _53_ them. The main shortage lies in the actual stuff of language itself words. Taken individually, words have little_54_ until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. Unfortunately, _55_, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously read one word at a time, often regressing to _56_ words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over what you have just read, is a common _57_ habit in reading. Another bad habit which _58_ the speed of reading is vocalization sounding each word either _59_ or mentally as one reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an accelerator, which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set a slightly _60_ rate than the reader finds comfortable, in order to “_61_” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization, practically _62_. At first comprehension is _63_ speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill _64_ improved after some training. Take Charles Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that now he can go through a lot more reading material in a(n) _65_ period of time. 51. A. quicklyB. silentlyC. thoroughlyD. vaguely 52.A. casual B. curious C. efficientD. poor 53.A. acquire B. cultivateC. kick D. practice54.A. formation B. meaningC. pronunciationD. transformation55.A. howeverB. moreover C. somehowD. therefore 56.A. recite B. reread C. reuse D. rewrite 57.A. horrible B. incurableC. social D. viewing 58.A. achievesB. gainsC. measuresD. reduces 59.A. orallyB. physically C. quietly D. repeatedly 60.A. better B. fasterC. lower D. steadier 61.A. distractB. embarrassC. interestD. stretch62.A. demanding B. impossibleC. reasonableD. useful 63.A. applied toB. matched withC. sacrificed forD. substituted for64.A. dramatically B. hardlyC. slightlyD. subconsciously 65.A. indefiniteB. lengthyC. limitedD. set Section BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A) Jane Austen was born in the English countryside more than 200 years ago. She lived a simple life. She seldom travelled. She never married and she died from illness when she was only 41. However, people all over the world remember her. Why? It is because Jane Austen is the author of some of the best-loved novels in the English language. These novels include Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion.Jane completed her last novel Persuasion in 1816, but it was not published until after her death. Persuasion is partly based on Janes naval brother.Anne, the daughter of Sir Walter Elliot, falls in love with Captain Wentworth, a person of a lower social position. But she breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy. The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret. Eight years later, Wentworth returns from sea a rich and successful captain. He finds Annes family on the edge of financial ruin. Anne and the captain rediscover their love and get married.Jane Austen once compared her writing to painting on a little bit of ivory（象牙）, two inches square. Readers of Persuasion will see that neither her skill of delicate, ironic(諷刺的) observations on social custom, love, and marriage nor her ability to apply a sharp focus to English manners and morals has abandoned her in her final finished work.Persuasion has produced three film adaptations: a 1995 version starring Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds, a 2007 TV miniseries with Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry-Jones, and a 1971 miniseries with Ann Firbank and Bryan Marshall.People who are interested in Jane Austen can still visit many of the places she visited and lived. These places include the village of Steventon, although her family house is now gone. Many of the places Jane visited in Bath are still there. You can visit Jane Austens home in Chawton, where she did her best writing, and Winchester, where she died. 66.What is the theme of Persuasion?A. Never regret what youve chosen.B. True love lasts forever.C. Be matched for marriage.D. Love waits for no man.67.Which of the following CANNOT describe Janes writing style?A. Her application of symbolism.B. Her delicate observations.C. Her focus on manners and morals.D. Her use of irony.68.Which of the following about Jane Austen is TRUE?A. Her family house is now in the village of Steventon.B. Many of the places she visited in Bath are still available.C. The latest film adaptation of Persuasion was produced in 1995.D. Her last novel Persuasion is considered her most successful one.69.The article mainly talks about _.A. Jane Austens unique writing styleB. the original residence of Jane Austen C. Jane Austens last novel: PersuasionD. the popularity of Jane Austens novels( B)GETTING A GRANTWho pays?The local education authority (LEA) for the area in which the student is living.Who can get this money?Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course, although a student who has already attended a course of advanced further education may not. Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years, which can exclude some students from overseas.SPECIAL CASESIf a student has worked before going to college?A student who is 26 or more before the course starts and who has worked for at least three of the previous six years will get extra money £155 a year if 26, increasing to a maximum of £615 at 29 or more.If a student is handicapped?LEAs will give up to £500 to help meet extra expenses such as buying a tape recorder for a blind student, extra heating or special food. Banking?Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts (in the hope that they will stay with the bank when they become rich officials). A student wont usually have to pay bank charges as long as the account stays in credit. Some banks allow students to overdraw by £100 or so, and still dont make charges (though they do charge interest).70. The phrase “a grant” in the first line most probably means _.A. bank interestB. a credit cardC. an education feeD. financial aid71. A student from Japan who has been studying in England for a year and intends to go to college in a few months will _.A. be unable to get money from any LEAB. get money if taking a first degree courseC. get money from LEA when finishing his courseD. have to open a bank account before getting money72. A 31-year-old nurse wishes to qualify as a doctor at a university. She has worked since she was 25. How much extra money will she get a year?A. None.B. £155.C. £615.D. £515.73. A big bank offers a new student special services because _.A. they need student accounts badly B. they charge students extra interestC. they know he can get money regularlyD. they hope hell be a potential customer(C) Publicity offers several benefits. There are not costs for message time or space. An ad in prime-time television may cost $250,000 to $5,000,000 or more per minute, whereas a five-minute report on a network newscast would not cost anything. Publicity reaches a mass audience within a short time and new products or company policies are widely known.Credibility about messages is high, because they are reported in independent media. A newspaper review of a movie has more believability than an ad in the same paper, because the reader associates independence with objectivity. Similarly, people are more likely to pay attention to news reports than to ads. For example, Womens Wear Daily has both fashion reports and advertisements. Readers spend time reading the stories, but they skim through the ads. Furthermore, there may be 10 commercials during a half-hour television program or hundreds of ads in a magazine. Feature stories are much fewer in number and stand out clearly.Publicity also has some significant limitations. A firm has little control over messages, their timing, their placement, or their coverage by a given medium. It may issue detailed news releases and find only portions mentioned by the media, and media have the ability to be much more critical than a firm would like. For example, in 1982, Procter & Gamble faced a massive publicity problem over the meaning of its 123-year-old company logo. To fight this negative publicity, the firm had a spokesperson appear on Good Morning America to disprove the rumor（謠言）. The false rumors were temporarily put to rest. However, in 1985, publicity became so troublemaking that Procter & Gamble decided to remove the logo from its products.A firm may want publicity during certain periods, such as when a new product is introduced or new store opened, but the media may not cover the introduction or opening until after the time it would aid the firm. Similarly, media determine the placement of a story; it may follow a report on crime or sports. Finally, the media decide whether to cover a story at all and the amount of coverage to be devoted to it. 74. All of the following advantages of publicity are mentioned EXCEPT _.A. time savingB. attentivenessC. credibilityD. profitability75. Compared with ad, news report or featuring stories are more _.A. believableB. clearC. dependentD. subjective76. The example of “Procter & Gamble” is given to show _.A. the efficient way of disproving rumorsB. the importance of a spokesperson C. the interaction between firms and mediaD. the negative effect of publicity77.
